Study Notes
Structured Interview Characteristics
- Flexibility: Structured interviews are standardized, allowing for less flexibility in the questions asked.
Ideal Interview Type for Exploration
- Semi-structured interview: This type balances structure with flexibility, achieving a good mix of pre-determined topics and open-ended exploration.
Observation Characteristics
- Researcher Objectivity: Observation methods strive to maintain researcher objectivity, limiting their influence on the observed behavior.
Researcher Participation Role
- Participant Observer: In this role, the researcher actively participates in the group activities while openly disclosing their research identity.
Ethical Concerns in Observation
- Complete Observer: The complete observer role, where the researcher observes without participants' knowledge, raises the most significant ethical concerns due to potential invasion of privacy and lack of consent.
Limitations of Qualitative Research
- Generalizability: Qualitative research findings are typically not easily generalizable to larger populations, limiting their applicability to broader contexts.
